Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup rotisserie chicken diced
- 1 pkg. taco seasoning
- 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained
- ½ cup salsa
- 1 cup tomatoes diced
- 2 cups lettuce shredded
- ½ cup cilantro diced
- 1 cup queso fresco crumbled
- ½ cup sour cream optional
Instructions
- In a skillet, fry corn tortillas in vegetable oil over medium heat until crispy (about 1 minute per side).
- Drain tortillas on paper towels.
- Add diced chicken to skillet and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Sauté for a few minutes, then move to a serving bowl.
- Add black beans to skillet and mash until most beans are broken. Add salsa and a little bit of the cilantro. Sauté over medium heat until beans are thickened and creamy, about 5 minutes.
- To assemble tostadas, start with the fried tortillas. Spread black bean mixture on tortillas, then add chicken. Top with tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro and crumbled queso fresco.
- Drizzle with sour cream if desired, or other toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Use corn tortillas that are a few days old for best results. If tortillas are moist, dry them on a sheet pan in a 275 degree oven for 5 minutes before frying.
- If you can't find queso fresco at the grocery store, feel free to substitute cojita or feta cheese instead.
- Turn your tortillas into a fiesta by creating a Tostada Bar! Set out fried tortillas with bowls of toppings and encourage guests to build their own tostadas.
